About Lunar New Year 2026
Lunar New Year 2026 ushers in the Year of the Horse, celebrated across East and Southeast Asia with vibrant traditions that span cultures. In Vietnam, it's Tết; in Korea, Seollal; and in China, the Spring Festival. The holiday centers on family reunion, with billions of people traveling home for the new year — the largest annual human migration on Earth. Red and gold decorations fill streets and homes, symbolizing luck and prosperity. Firecrackers drive away evil spirits, while lion and dragon dances bring good fortune. The 15-day celebration culminates in the Lantern Festival, when thousands of glowing lanterns light up the night sky.
